General Information - Security

By following our tips, online banking at Bank Iowa can be a safe and efficient method for handling your banking needs. User Identification and Password Security starts at your computer. Never share your Login ID or password with anyone. Make sure your password is hard to guess by combining random numbers and letters instead of using your birth date, pet’s name or other obvious choices. Secure Sockets Layer Encryption (SSL) We use Secure Sockets Layer encryption, a trusted method of securing internet transactions. This technology scrambles data as it travels between your computer and Bank Iowa, making it difficult for anyone to access your account information. Browser Registration In addition to your personal password security, we have added another layer of security called browser registration that runs in the background and helps verify your identity at login.

Online Banking Safety Tips

> Ensure your web browser, operating system, anti-virus software and other applications are current and support 128-bit encryption. > Memorize your passwords. > Exit your online banking session when finished. > Do not leave your computer unattended when logged into online banking. > Do not use public computers or unsecured WiFi when accessing online banking. > If you receive an error when logged into your online banking account, report the error to a customer service representative.

General Information - Security

Bank Iowa will never send unsolicited emails asking you to provide, update, or verify personal or confidential information via return email. If you receive an email inquiry allegedly from Bank Iowa, please report the incident to a customer service representative as quickly as possible. To mitigate the risk of online fraud and identity theft, your first and best protection is awareness. Phishing Phishing is an online scam tactic that is used to lure users into unknowingly providing personal data, such as credit card information or Login IDs and passwords. Using realistic-looking emails and websites, this tactic attempts to gain the trust of unsuspecting targets and convince them that vital information is being requested by a vendor they may already have a relationship with, such as their financial institution. Identity Theft It is important that you are aware of the dangers of identity theft. Identity theft can occur when criminals find a way to steal your personal or other identifying information and assume the use of that data to access your personal accounts, open new accounts, apply for credit, purchase merchandise, and commit other crimes using your identity.

Fraud Prevention Tips

> Do not open email attachments or click on a link from unsolicited sources. > Avoid completing email forms or messages that ask for personal or financial information. > Do not trust an email asking you to use a link for verification of login or account details. > Monitor your account transactions for unauthorized use. > Shred old financial information, invoices, charge receipts, checks, unwanted pre-approved credit offers and expired charge cards before disposing of them. > Contact the sender by phone if you are suspicious of an email attachment.
